The resolution called for the broadening of the powers of the Workmen's Compensation Act to include injuries and in- capacîties sustained off the job, and the Increased cover- age to be financed by savings accruing from investigators not having to determnine whether an empioyee was or was not actually working on the job at the time the injury or in- capacity was sustained. The resolution, Mr. Car- ruthers stated, would extcnd the benefits of the Workmen's Compensation's Act into the field of welfare.

No little green mien came out so he went dloser and finally brought it down. It was weather instrument called a Radiosonde thaf had been sent aloft by the Meteoroligical Branch of the Dept. of Transport. Needless to say he was relieved. t i. t t t FISH -- Af ter last week's Statesman was published, the Editer rcceived one cail pointing t out that it only costs $1 for a sineit fishing licence but $3 for ail types of f ish. So far we haven't had an opportunity te check it, but pre- sume it is right. Aise, another caller advised that boys under 19 and ail women don't have to have fishing licences. So, he suggestcd the answer was if you are going fishing without a licence, take along yeur wife or 18-year-old son te hold the pele if the wardcn shows up.

Crowd Cheers Performances by Goalies While practically ail of the gaines were good during the bîg Minior Hocke3r Day on Saturday, the Tyke battie really caught the fancy of the fans. They played a full gaine with no score and both goalies kicking out many shots thaly appeared to be labelled for goals. It was not until the second overtime period that the Ainericans' Ken Cowle, assisted by Wayne Whiteman, came through with a counter to win 1-0. The goalies were so good that Recreation Director Bud Fanning called thein to centre ice for special attention at the end of the gaine.
